How soon do you archive information?

A recent story posted only last week, is mysteriously now REALLY hard to find and has been pulled a lot sooner than most articles of a sexual nature.

The Northwest Herald has done something it shouldn't have - at least not this soon after an incident. Curiously, the report from this paper was, by far, the most accurate account of the incident. No one was misquoted - when compared to all other coverage available at the time.
We all know to what incident I refer.

For a newspaper, I say you don't archive any story until it's solved or over. This story is far from over.

But, fortunately, BAD COP NEWS has kept it running.
